My father tried to show me the planets and stars.See, just there. It looks like a dipper. Follow where I’m pointing. No, a little to your right. Yes, the telescope is adjusted properly.

But, I couldn’t see the pictures they supposedly made.

I tried to show my father the faces in trees.
See, just there. No, up a bit.That’s just the leaves, the way the sunlight filters through them.See, it’s gone now that the sun has moved.
How else can you see unless something shows it to you, I wondered?There’s no such thing as a face in a tree.read more

Cory Waters is caretaker of a special place, an estate where totem animals—spiritual guides—come to renew their spirits. Cory knows there is a much larger and divinely given purpose for his life. With the help of his animals, he seeks to discover his higher calling and to find his place in the universe. As Cory journeys into the wilderness of his heart and his soul, he uncovers his hidden truths and journeys ever closer to his spiritual home. He discovers unexpected and wondrous parts of himself that he had no idea existed or could exist. He learns how to keep what is important, while finding ways to change, to venture into the new—to become. As Cory likes to say, “Everyone has the capability inside them to do what they are meant to do, to become who they are meant to be, and to offer their particular talents.”read more

Like a deepening stream, a new life unfolds.
Pebbles shifting at the bottom expose the gold.
Waters growing deeper run clean and clear and
Wash out the sediment that collects from each year.
Dancing on the surface, a rainbow of Love,
A spirit of shining brilliance is reflected from above.

Like the taste of sweet, cold water that lingers in the mouth,
This new life brings renewal as after a long drought.
I see it running steadily on to vaster, deeper regions
‘Til soon its waters pouring forth make up a mighty ocean.
Nothing now can stop the surge of its far-reaching tide:
This little stream becoming great if in its Source it will abide.read more
